STRIKE (2:30)

A film poem of an Irish woman from Chicago dancing for vegetation. She is attacked by glass jars. It ends with an historical postcard image of a native woman with her papoose. It begins with pages from SONGS OF THE WORKERS. Here, dance is perceived as illegal by an unseen source, but it is also a rallying cry. Filmed for Podfest, as a part of NW New Works Festival at On the Boards 2010.
